Bab 28: Cannot Retaliate

Sarah was anxious and angry. She pulled Emma and comforted her with heartache. She turned to Amelia and scolded: "How could you use violence? If you don't want to give your sister the parrot, you can just say so. Why did you hit her?"

Amelia's eyes were full of tears and her lips were pursed tightly. She clenched her fists stubbornly and said, "It was sister who hit me first."

Sarah said angrily, "You can hit her back just because she hit you? Don't children know how to be modest and polite? Why are you…"

"Enough!" Old Master Walton shouted angrily and interrupted Sarah. "You asked Mia to be modest and give way, but what about Emma? Does she know how to be modest and give way? She was the one who snatched Mia's parrot first, and she was the one who hit her first. How dare you blame Mia for hitting her? Do you want Mia to be bullied by you guys and not retaliate?"
